During inspection of a packet trace, I noticed that an NFSv4.0 mount
reported that it supported attributes that are only defined for NFSv4.1.
In practice, this bug appears to be benign, since NFSv4.0 clients will
not use attributes that were added for NFSv4.1.
However, this was not correct and this patch fixes the NFSv4.0 server
so that it only supports attributes defined for NFSv4.0.
It also adds a definition for NFSv4.1 attributes that can only be set,
although it is only defined as 0 for now.
This is anticipation of the addition of support for the NFSv4.1 mode+mask
attribute soon.

I believe that a ReclaimComplete with rca_one_fs == TRUE is only
to be used after a file system has been transferred to a different
file server. However, RFC5661 is somewhat vague w.r.t. this and
the ESXi 6.7 client does both a ReclaimComplete with rca_one_fs == TRUE
and one with ReclaimComplete with rca_one_fs == FALSE.
Therefore, just ignore the rca_one_fs == TRUE operation and return
NFS_OK without doing anything instead of replying NFS4ERR_NOTSUPP.
This allows the ESXi 6.7 NFSv4.1 client to do a mount.
After discussion on the NFSv4 IETF working group mailing list, doing this
along with setting a flag to note that a ReclaimComplete with rca_one_fs TRUE
was an appropriate way to handle this.
The flag that indicates that a ReclaimComplete with rca_one_fs == TRUE was
done may be used to disable replies of NFS4ERR_GRACE for non-reclaim
state operations in a future commit.
This patch along with r332790, r334492 and r336357 allow ESXi 6.7 NFSv4.1 mounts
work ok. ESX 6.5 NFSv4.1 mounts do not work well, due to what I believe are
violations of RFC-5661 and should not be used.

The pnfsdskill(8) command will normally fail if there is no valid mirror
for the DS to be disabled. However, a system administrator may need to
disable a DS which does not have a valid mirror so that the nfsd threads
can be terminated. This patch adds the kernel code needed by pnfsdskill(8)
to implement this "forced" case of disabling a DS.
This patch only affects the pNFS server.
Without this patch, the pNFS server distributes the data storage files across
all of the specified DSs.
A tester noted that it would be nice if a system administrator could control
which DSs are used to store the file data for a given exported MDS file system.
This patch adds the kernel support to do this. It also makes a slight semantic
change to nfsv4_findmirror(), since some uses of it no longer require that
the DS being searched for have a current mirror.
A patch that will be committed in a few minutes will modify the nfsd daemon
to support this feature.
The patch should only affect sites using the pNFS server (specified via the
"-p" command line option for nfsd.

This code merge adds a pNFS service to the NFSv4.1 server. Although it is
a large commit it should not affect behaviour for a non-pNFS NFS server.
Some documentation on how this works can be found at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/pnfs-planb-setup.txt
and will hopefully be turned into a proper document soon.
This is a merge of the kernel code. Userland and man page changes will
come soon, once the dust settles on this merge.
It has passed a "make universe", so I hope it will not cause build problems.
It also adds NFSv4.1 server support for the "current stateid".
Here is a brief overview of the pNFS service:
A pNFS service separates the Read/Write oeprations from all the other NFSv4.1
Metadata operations. It is hoped that this separation allows a pNFS service
to be configured that exceeds the limits of a single NFS server for either
storage capacity and/or I/O bandwidth.
It is possible to configure mirroring within the data servers (DSs) so that
the data storage file for an MDS file will be mirrored on two or more of
the DSs.
When this is used, failure of a DS will not stop the pNFS service and a
failed DS can be recovered once repaired while the pNFS service continues
to operate. Although two way mirroring would be the norm, it is possible
to set a mirroring level of up to four or the number of DSs, whichever is
less.
The Metadata server will always be a single point of failure,
just as a single NFS server is.
A Plan B pNFS service consists of a single MetaData Server (MDS) and K
Data Servers (DS), all of which are recent FreeBSD systems.
Clients will mount the MDS as they would a single NFS server.
When files are created, the MDS creates a file tree identical to what a
single NFS server creates, except that all the regular (VREG) files will
be empty. As such, if you look at the exported tree on the MDS directly
on the MDS server (not via an NFS mount), the files will all be of size 0.
Each of these files will also have two extended attributes in the system
attribute name space:
pnfsd.dsfile - This extended attrbute stores the information that
the MDS needs to find the data storage file(s) on DS(s) for this file.
pnfsd.dsattr - This extended attribute stores the Size, AccessTime, ModifyTime
and Change attributes for the file, so that the MDS doesn't need to
acquire the attributes from the DS for every Getattr operation.
For each regular (VREG) file, the MDS creates a data storage file on one
(or more if mirroring is enabled) of the DSs in one of the "dsNN"
subdirectories. The name of this file is the file handle
of the file on the MDS in hexadecimal so that the name is unique.
The DSs use subdirectories named "ds0" to "dsN" so that no one directory
gets too large. The value of "N" is set via the sysctl vfs.nfsd.dsdirsize
on the MDS, with the default being 20.
For production servers that will store a lot of files, this value should
probably be much larger.
It can be increased when the "nfsd" daemon is not running on the MDS,
once the "dsK" directories are created.
For pNFS aware NFSv4.1 clients, the FreeBSD server will return two pieces
of information to the client that allows it to do I/O directly to the DS.
DeviceInfo - This is relatively static information that defines what a DS
is. The critical bits of information returned by the FreeBSD
server is the IP address of the DS and, for the Flexible
File layout, that NFSv4.1 is to be used and that it is
"tightly coupled".
There is a "deviceid" which identifies the DeviceInfo.
Layout - This is per file and can be recalled by the server when it
is no longer valid. For the FreeBSD server, there is support
for two types of layout, call File and Flexible File layout.
Both allow the client to do I/O on the DS via NFSv4.1 I/O
operations. The Flexible File layout is a more recent variant
that allows specification of mirrors, where the client is
expected to do writes to all mirrors to maintain them in a
consistent state. The Flexible File layout also allows the
client to report I/O errors for a DS back to the MDS.
The Flexible File layout supports two variants referred to as
"tightly coupled" vs "loosely coupled". The FreeBSD server always
uses the "tightly coupled" variant where the client uses the
same credentials to do I/O on the DS as it would on the MDS.
For the "loosely coupled" variant, the layout specifies a
synthetic user/group that the client uses to do I/O on the DS.
The FreeBSD server does not do striping and always returns
layouts for the entire file. The critical information in a layout
is Read vs Read/Writea and DeviceID(s) that identify which
DS(s) the data is stored on.
At this time, the MDS generates File Layout layouts to NFSv4.1 clients
that know how to do pNFS for the non-mirrored DS case unless the sysctl
vfs.nfsd.default_flexfile is set non-zero, in which case Flexible File
layouts are generated.
The mirrored DS configuration always generates Flexible File layouts.
For NFS clients that do not support NFSv4.1 pNFS, all I/O operations
are done against the MDS which acts as a proxy for the appropriate DS(s).
When the MDS receives an I/O RPC, it will do the RPC on the DS as a proxy.
If the DS is on the same machine, the MDS/DS will do the RPC on the DS as
a proxy and so on, until the machine runs out of some resource, such as
session slots or mbufs.
As such, DSs must be separate systems from the MDS.

For most NFSv4.1 servers, a NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error is a rare failure
that indicates that the server has lost session/open/lock state.
However, recent testing by cperciva@ against the AmazonEFS server found
several problems with client recovery from this due to it generating this
failure frequently.
Briefly, the problems fixed are:
- If all session slots were in use at the time of the failure, some processes
would continue to loop waiting for a slot on the old session forever.
- If an RPC that doesn't use open/lock state failed with NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION,
it would fail the RPC/syscall instead of initiating recovery and then
looping to retry the RPC.
- If a successful reply to an RPC for an old session wasn't processed
until after a new session was created for a NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error,
it would erroneously update the new session and corrupt it.
- The use of the first element of the session list in the nfs mount
structure (which is always the current metadata session) was slightly
racey. With changes for the above problems it became more racey, so all
uses of this head pointer was wrapped with a NFSLOCKMNT()/NFSUNLOCKMNT().
- Although the kernel malloc() usually allocates more bytes than requested
and, as such, this wouldn't have caused problems, the allocation of a
session structure was 1 byte smaller than it should have been.
(Null termination byte for the string not included in byte count.)
There are probably still problems with a pNFS data server that fails
with NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION, but I have no server that does this to test
against (the AmazonEFS server doesn't do pNFS), so I can't fix these yet.
Although this patch is fairly large, it should only affect the handling
of NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error replies from an NFSv4.1 server.
Thanks go to cperciva@ for the extension testing he did to help isolate/fix
these problems.

option that will be added to the nfsuserd daemon in a future
commit. It modifies the cache used by NFSv4 for name<-->id
translation (both username/uid and group/gid) to support this.
When "-manage-gids" is set, the server looks up each uid
for the RPC and uses the list of groups cached in the server
instead of the list of groups provided in the RPC request.
The cached group list is acquired for the cache by the nfsuserd
daemon via getgrouplist(3).
This avoids the 16 groups limit for the list in the RPC request.
Since the cache is now used for every RPC when "-manage-gids"
is enabled, the code also modifies the cache to use a separate
mutex for each hash list instead of a single global mutex.
